With the authentic charm of old Mexico and the coastal beauty of the Pacific Ocean, Ensenada (Spanish for ‘cove’ or ‘inlet’) is one of Baja’s warmest and friendliest towns. Perhaps that’s why millions of visitors return here each year, arriving by car or cruise ship to what is called “The Cinderella of the Pacific.”

With everything from romantic bed & breakfast inns to sophisticated modern hotels to fun and funky rusticity, this port city offers lodging in every price range and in locations that provide easy access to shopping, dining and exploration.

ENSENADA ACTIVITIES OVERVIEW

Ensenada locals constantly tout the diversity of the region: produce, seafood, lifestyles and, most important, recreation opportunities. It is a region where, no matter what your age or physical abilities, you can find something fun or exciting to do.

Throughout the year, Ensenada plays host to festivals and events, many of which have become internationally renowned. Because the city boasts a mild climate, most of its events can be and are staged outdoors — in the region’s wine valley, along the beaches and in the downtown shopping area. In addition, Ensenada’s state art museum, CEARTE, is home to exhibitions, performances and film festival. There are listerally scores of events in Ensenada but here are a few that are must-dos!

Ensenada is the largest municipality in all of Mexico, so there are literally hundreds of community events taking place in its various locales. We encourage communities to submit their events and news to us at info@baja.ca. Here are just a few of the regularly scheduled community activites in the Ensenada area.
